Rowland, Thomas M., Jr.
No full textThomas M. Rowland, Jr., DO (hon.), LLD (hon.), devoted 34 years of his life to PCOM, distinguishing himself as a leader, an educator and a friend to students, alumni, falculty and employees. Rowland was a World War II veteran (an experience he shared with many students and alumni) and a graduate of Temple University with postgraduate studies in public administration. He began his career at PCO in 1950 as assistant registrar and soon advanced to registrar and director of admissions, introducing more than 2,000 students to the osteopathic profession. The Class of 1954 awarded Rowland an honorary DO degree. Between 1959 and 1973, he rose through the ranks from President Barth\u27s administrative assistant to executive vice president. From 1973 until his death in 1984, Rowland served as PCOM\u27s fourth president. President Rowland led the development of PCOM into the Osteopathic Medical Center of Philadelphia. He coordinated operation of Barth Pavilion, started the School of Allied Health, nurtured the growth of the health care centers and added a new building to the campus. Rowland was an advocate for osteopathic principles and research programs. But his greatest achievement as president was in expanding and enriching the faculty through the implementation of a whole-time faculty plan and the recruitment of PhDs. Rowland was an educator as well as an administrator, a talent for which he received the 1963 Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching. His areas of expertise were in public relations, professional economics and community health. Rowland enthusiastically supported student and alumni activities and athletics. He instituted the position of class chairman, the Employee Recognition Dinner, the Annual Giving Campaign and the Founders Day Alumni Dinner Dance. During his earlier years at the College, he coached the basketball team to victory; as president, he backed the formation of soccer and rugby clubs. Rowland\u27s impact extended beyond the PCOM community. Devoted to advancing the osteopathic profession as well as osteopathic education, he served on several committees of the AOA and on the board of governors of the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, of which he was also a president. Civic groups and osteopathic organizations honored Rowland for his many contributions and achievements.https://digitalcommons.pcom.edu/portraits/1024/thumbnail.jp

Is there a relationship between organisational culture and the implementation and leadership of change?
No full textIt is widely asserted that a high proportion of change initiatives fail (e.g. Kotter, 1996; Author/s to be provided, 2000). Furthermore the success of initiatives involving cultural change is significantly lower (Smith, 2003). However, there is some debate around whether or not change can only be effected if organisational culture is also changed or that, for change to be successful it has to be positioned within the dominant organisational culture paradigm (e.g. Trompenaars & Wooliams, 2004). In a study by Author/s to be provided (2003) it was suggested that approaches to change based on an understanding of complexity, rather than an assumption of linearity, were more likely to be successful. Furthermore they identified the significance of leader behaviours in impacting on change success. In particular they indicated that leader-centric behaviours (Shaping) were negatively related to success. Behaviours focusing on creating a change framework and building capability (Framing) were positively related to success. In discussing these findings they indicated a need for further research to explore their results in differing organisational contexts. They also identified a need to explore the impact of differing organisational cultures on the findings. These two needs for research are the focus of this paper. The study reported involved collecting stories from change leaders in nine organisations. Whilst the Author/s to be provided (2003) framework was used to explore change approaches and leader behaviours, the construct of culture was operationalised using the Goffee and Jones (1998) model. The findings presented offer some support for the proposition that there is a relationship between culture, change approach, leadership behaviours and change success. However, the sample size does provide a limitation of the research and further exploration in future research is called for. <br/
